easy striped cowl

I was looking for a quick cowl pattern that would suit a male and this is what I found. (Charlie doesn't think men should wear cowls. I, personally, LOVE a man wearing anything hand knit!) I had stash yarn from this sweater and this sweater and decided to combine the two.

I ran the opposite color through each row and thought that perhaps it can be worn the opposite way as well. A reversible cowl? Even better.

I love this, Leslie! I made the "Burberry cowl" for my husband a couple of years ago...he loves it but I don't think it looks very masculine. This is truly unisex - thanks so much for sharing! I can always count on you for knitting inspiration! Happy knitting!!!

This looks fabulous, and so nice and warm and cozy for your climate. I live in Australia, and it is just too warm here, even in winter, for something so luxuriously warm. I find 8ply is the thickest I can go here. But I do love your cowl :)
